It says it in the reason portion.

reason: Community ban from site admin. Consider curating your feed instead of downvoting all of the content within a community

I was specific about my wording. I didn’t say an admin did the ban. I said the ban mentions that a site admin was responsible.

The mod was either also an admin or asked an admin. You can even see it in the ban reasons from OP. The most recent ban mentions that a site admin is responsible for the ban.

I wonder if where you have your account affects how you notice where the trolls are from? Like I don’t notice trolls coming from .world much because I just see a username, where a troll from .ml is username@lemmy.ml.

Every list I’ve seen is completely different, but none of them have Illinois in the top 10 worst. The most consistent result I saw was Rhode Island being one of the top 3.

Have you tried clearing all your cookies for the site? It often helps when you get Lemmy errors that other people aren’t getting.

I used to love both Vanilla and Cherry Coke, but I can’t stand cola flavors (any brand) ever since I got covid last year. So it’s been mostly the cream soda flavor Dr. Pepper if I drink soda at home.

It’s only an ad if I don’t like the discussion. Posting about a mechanical keyboard I bought and calling it great? That’s not an ad. If you do it though, that is an ad. Everyone on the internet is a shill except for me.

I think the federated nature makes it tough to just have a blanket policy of leaving it up to the community mods. Ideally you would want the report to go through the community mods and then the host instance admins first, but you might not be able to contact those instance admins to see if they have looked at the post. You also have no control of the community mods and would not expect them to remove the post because of your rules.

Even with that, I do agree that something should change. As it stands, you can have posts disappear from largest Lemmy server from seemingly arbitrary admin decisions and there’s no formal process to appeal. It seems like you would need some sort of Alliance where you all agree to certain guidelines and have a formal process for these cross-server disputes.

Maybe there should also be some sort of ‘Approved by host admin’ system so that other admins can at least know that you looked at it.

Arent federated comments and posts from you instance hosted on each server you federated with? Admins of each individual server have the right to moderate content seen by their users. If they couldn’t remove individual comments or posts, then the only other option they would have if your users are breaking another server’s rules would be to defederate.

In this particular case, I feel like the removal was unjustified.
